Applying for New Single Graduate Student Housing

You will then use the same Graduate Division Application Email and Password that you used through the Graduate Division process to log into the housing application.

Your Housing Guarantee is only valid if you:

Submit your Statement of Intent to Register to the Graduate Division by your deadline, but in no case later than May 15 at 4:00pm.

Submit a contract for a San Clemente Villages apartment by May 15 at 4:00pm.

Complete the Personal Preferences as part of your contract process. Within a few days of returning your contract, after you have established your UCSBNetID and activated your U-Mail, you will be sent an email with a link to our online 'Personal Preferences' form.

You will be able to choose from one of three contract terms on your Personal Preferences form:

September 1, 2018 - August 15, 2019

September 1, 2018 - July 1, 2019

September 22, 2018 - June 17, 2019

Any graduate student who needs to request an early move-in due to an early start date for their program must contact our office after completing the Personal Preferences. Early move-ins must be requested at least four weeks prior to the move-in date you are requesting. Early move-ins are approved as space allows. The dates you can request to move in early are:

June 24, 2018

New single graduate students entering fall quarter are guaranteed housing for their first year as long as they adhere to application procedures and deadlines.

New single graduate students entering winter or spring quarter are accommodated when possible. Contact University & Community Housing Services for details.

Please check your U-Mail account directly and frequently so that you don’t miss any important messages from UCSB. It may not be reliable to forward your U-Mail to an alternate email (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.) If you don’t receive a confirmation email from us within a few minutes of submitting your contract, check your spam folder.

If you wish to cancel your contract prior to April 15, 2018, the cancellation fee is $100. The cancellation fee after April 15, 2018 is $350.
